Comment 236 for bug 620074

I agree that those tests let us know that there's a problem, because we see the sluggish behaviour. However, if a kernel dev is not seeing the performance issues on their machines, it won't be very convincing for them. If however, we provide some concrete tests, showing which kernels didn't have the problem, which did, and the test results, then they may be able to get somewhere. That's why I'm hoping someone can chime in and tell us what sorts of tests would be useful, such as I suggested in comment #220.
